Considering that Ammy and Ada should have similar voting trends, this could be a close match wire-to-wire. ...It won't have quite the same impact as Chrono Trigger/A Link to the Past, but it would still be pretty cool. --- Mustache...and green... www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

I don't know much about Balthier, but if his great line is "I'm the

At least Dante looks like he's finally going to break 40%. Damn Dante, why are you sucking so much. TuRtLe ~~~ 165/208 in the contest. Next pick: Danta > Han Solo BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Just picture Han Solo. He has the same personality, a furry sidekick, a
ship (where that one seen looks suspiciously like the Falcon taking off
from Mos Eisley) and he uses a gun. TuRtLe ~~~ 165/208 in the contest. Next pick: Danta > Han Solo BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Guys, I just had a thought. If Shaquille O'neal was in the contest,

Who would be the strongest non-gaming character? Darth Vader Spider-Man Wolverine Batman I've narrowed it down to these four, and I really doubt it could be anyone else. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Setzer is a loser and the worst character in FF6 next to Umaro and Cyan. Probably has something to do with me being completely unable to rig his slots. TuRtLe ~~~ 165/208 in the contest. Next pick: Danta > Han Solo BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

No Homer Simpson? No Optimus Prime? Homer might be decent, but I think Optimus Prime would get schooled by most of our strongest characters. He's not nearly the recognizable pop culture icon that Vader and those superheroes are. Oh man, I'd go so far as Darth Vader>Link. He's like the epitome of nerd. Hard to imagine anyone over Link, but I suppose he has the best shot. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Darth Vader getting an actual Anakin picture would make him perform horribly. --- Demyx is better than Axel. |

As far as nailbiters go, this one is boring and pointless. 99% of the people here have Balthier, so it doesn't really matter who wins between Amastaseru and Ada. Not to mention the fact that naillbiters are never exciting until the final hours of the match. TuRtLe ~~~ 165/208 in the contest. Next pick: Danta > Han Solo BlAcK TuRtLe.

top class here? I think if you opened it up to movie characters and
possibly even actual people there'd be a whole new class of elites
above the likes of Link. It's just hard to imagine that when right now it is impressive to get over, like, 30% one-on-one against Link or Cloud.

Yeah, if we ever had such a contest, it's assured he'd get in as "Darth
Vader." No one is going to nominate him as Anakin. That also pretty
much guarantees that he'd get nothing but Vader pics. Do you think Bacon would ever bite on a contest like this? I'm sure the board would be unanimously in favor of it. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Technically, I would have to separate Darth and Anakin into separate
characters. SBAllen might not though. I think with a suit pic he beats
Link. And for some reason it's hard for me to get excited about this match when it's so early. If it goes like this until the end I'll be interested for sure. --- If you fail at life you try suicide. If you fail at suicide, what's next? Failing at poetry... - Fidormula |

I wouldn't say this one's pointless. Ada advancing would definitely
affect Leon vs Dante and that match would definitely be a bracket
buster. --- Finally a damn bracket! http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

The Darth/Ana thing raises an interesting idea. Why don't we all nominate Mega Man X next year to see if we can get both him and original MM into the contest, then we can see if X would match or beat MM in a contest setting.

The more I think about it, the more I think Leon is just going to drill
Ada into the ground should she get that far, and I don't think Pikachu
would have the strength to capitalize on that. TuRtLe ~~~ 165/208 in the contest. Next pick: Danta > Han Solo BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Why don't we all nominate Mega Man X next year to see if we can get
both him and original MM into the contest, then we can see if X would
match or beat MM in a contest setting. I would love to do this. And Vader beats Link simply because people would look at the match-up and think "oh... something different." --- Metal Gear Solid OOOOWWWWWWNS! |

Yeah, Leon pwns Ada. I can't see here hurting him much. I wouldn't write off movie characters on this site. Honestly who plays video games but doesn't watch movies? Darth Vader would certainly be a massive powerhouse, you can't deny that. --- If you fail at life you try suicide. If you fail at suicide, what's next? Failing at poetry... - Fidormula |

I just had another thought. Couldn't we technically nominate the
Predalien (Alien/Predator hybrid) since he originated in a video game?
How well would HE do? --- If you fail at life you try suicide. If you fail at suicide, what's next? Failing at poetry... - Fidormula |
